Abstract: A cut design for diamonds having a crown of substantially a frustum shape and substantially a conic pavilion directly under the frustum part, the diamond being enhanced in the brilliancy and scintillation of its crown part, the brilliancy and scintillation twinkling, and bluish lights being returned as reflected lights. A crown angle c and a pavilion angle p are so determined that lights coming in crown facets and emitted from crown facets, lights coming in the table facet and emitted from the crown facets, and lights coming in the crown facets and emitted from the table facet be directed toward the observer at the same time. Further, it is preferable to determine the crown angle c and the pavilion angle p so that the angles formed by incident lights and emitted lights are substantially equal to each other. Its table diameter should be between or equal to 0.60 and 0.33, more preferably not more than 0.55 and even more preferably not more than 0.38, in its ratio to the girdle diameter. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A delta sigma modulator which uses at least one quantizer having a dead zone. The dead zone quantizer outputs a zero when its input is within the dead zone range. It outputs a predetermined value if the input is above the dead zone range. If the input is below the dead zone range, the quantizer outputs another predetermined value. Ideally, the quantizer dead zone thresholds are complimentary in that the upper threshold for an input is the positive value of the lower threshold. Also, to save on accumulator bits, the delta sigma modulator selects a predetermined number of most significant bits at different stages.

Abstract: A liquid waste disposal and canister flushing system and method for a medical canister including a lid with at least first and second ports features a cabinet with an opening and a sink with a drain positioned therein. A removable lid covers the cabinet opening. A canister holder in the form of a ring or bucket is positioned within the chamber defined between the sink and cabinet opening. The canister holder is supported by a rod that is rotatably positioned in the cabinet. The rod is also connected to an electric motor or lever so that the canister holder, and therefore the canister positioned therein, may be rotated between an initial position and a drainage position. The canister is secured within the canister holder and tubing, which is in communication with a source of pressurized and diluted cleaning solution, is connected to the first canister port. The canister is rotated into the drainage position and the pressurized and diluted cleaning solution source is activated to flush the canister contents out of the second lid port and into the sink and drain. The first canister port may optionally feature a nozzle oriented at an angle so that a swirling action is induced upon the pressurized liquid entering the canister to assist in the flushing of residue from the canister.

Abstract: A dual wafer position loadlock chamber for a cluster tool includes a block which defines the chamber, a platen that projects into the chamber, a heat lamp assembly that radiates into the loadlock chamber and a plurality of rails for positioning a wafer within the chamber. The platen selectively cools the wafer and includes a bell portion located within the loadlock chamber. The heat lamp assembly is mounted to the block across the chamber from the bell portion. The rails extend into the loadlock chamber around the bell portion, and an upper flange and lower flange extend perpendicularly from each rail. During cooling operations, the wafer is placed on the upper flanges, which positions the wafer immediately proximate the bell portion for cooling the wafer. During degassing operations, the wafer is placed on the lower flanges and the heat lamp assembly illuminates and establishes a focal plane of uniform radiation intensity which is co-planar with the wafer. In this manner, the loadlock chamber allows both wafer degassing and wafer cooling functions to be performed within the loadlock chamber, which eliminates the need for a dedicated degassing chamber and cooling chamber in the cluster tool.

Abstract: A speech coding method and device for encoding and decoding an input signal and providing synthesized speech, wherein the higher frequency components of the synthesized speech are achieved by high-pass filtering and coloring an artificial signal to provide a processed artificial signal. The processed artificial signal is scaled by a first scaling factor during the active speech periods of the input signal and a second scaling factor during the non-active speech periods, wherein the first scaling factor is characteristic of the higher frequency band of the input signal and the second scaling factor is characteristic of the lower frequency band of the input signal. In particular, the second scaling factor is estimated based on the lower frequency components of the synthesized speech and the coloring of the artificial signal is based on the linear predictive coding coefficients characteristic of the lower frequency of the input signal.

Abstract: In a CDMA wireless communication system (200) a dispatch call can be established between two CDMA mobile stations (202, 226), or between other mobile stations and the CDMA mobile station, or between a CDMA mobile station and a computer(236) located outside of the wireless system. To reduce the delay normally association with call set up in a CDMA system, a dispatch processing network (128, 144) is provided in addition to a telephony switch (118). Dispatch calls and call set up requests are routed to the dispatch processing network from the radio access network (110) which includes base stations (204, 206). Once a dispatch call request is made, while the dispatch processing network begins setting up a traffic channel for the originating mobile communication device, the target is also paged, and upon responding, set up on a traffic channel. The concurrence of establishing radio links with the target and originating communication devices substantially reduces dispatch call set up time. <IMAGE>
